Diagnosed with lumbar strain
Murray has been diagnosed with a lumbar strain in his lower back and is currently without an official timetable to return.
Analyse
Murray will miss his third consecutive game Sunday with a lumbar strain, and with no firm return date, it seems unlikely he'll play at all during Week 13. Until we receive a positive update on Murray's rehab process, he should be considered week-to-week.

Out once again
Murray (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analyse
Murray will miss a third straight game since he's dealing with a lumbar strain, but his absence won't cause a lot of issues in most fantasy formats. His next chance to play will come against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Won't play Wednesday
Murray (back) will not play Wednesday against the Rockets.
Analyse
Murray was previously listed as doubtful, so this is an expected update. With Jerami Grant (Achilles) out as well, the Trail Blazers could give utility man Sidy Cissoko some extra minutes against Houston.

Doubtful for Wednesday
Murray (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Analyse
Murray is unlikely to suit up Wednesday due to lower back soreness. In the likely event that the 25-year-old forward joins Jerami Grant (Achilles) on the sidelines, Sidy Cissoko is expected to step into the starting five.

Hanging on to starting role
Murray finished with 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 137-117 win over Utah.
Analyse
Murray has started three consecutive games and eight of his last nine appearances amid the ongoing absence of Jerami Grant (Achilles). During that latter period, Murray has struggled to muster much fantasy relevance with averages of 7.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 28.6 minutes per game.
